Retirement in Portugal
In recent years, more and more French people have decided to spend all or part of their retirement abroad.
Buying a house in Portugal and spending all or part of your retirement by the sea allows you to increase your purchasing power if you compare a retirement in the South of France.
The proximity of Portugal, and its accessibility (plane and highways) allow you not to be cut off from your loved ones and to easily alternate residence as you wish. Your family and friends will also be delighted to visit you at your beachfront home.
The main benefits of retiring in Portugal in 2019:
From a tax and financial point of view:
A standard of living lower than the French standard of living which allows you to maximize your retirement and increase your standard of living. As an example, the minimum salary is set at 400%u20AC/month,
The security of your capital with an investment in real estate and without risk of expropriation, difficulties posed by administrations and the bank in the event of return to France or political reversal,
An investment without exchange rate risk, because in the euro zone,
Tax conventions between France and Portugal, within the framework of the European Union which allows people to escape double taxation on income,
You receive your pension very simply, directly into your French bank account or into a Portuguese bank account.
Advantageous taxation for Portuguese residents (no inheritance tax),
The possibility of selling your house easily and repatriating your money to France.
From a social and family point of view:
The mild climate and the sweetness of life with varied landscapes and welcoming people, many of whom know how to speak French,
Numerous daily air connections at very competitive costs with the main French cities from Lisbon airport, Faro (Algarve) and Porto which allow you to live without cutting off your ties to your loved ones,
A high standard of living for an average French retirement pension,
A health system that meets the standards and requirements of European countries,
A country with one of the lowest crime rates in Europe,
A large French community (around 30,000 French people.
